All remaining 60GB Playstation 3’s are in stores now

In July, we told you that once Sony sold out of their stock of 60GB PS3’s, that they would not be shipping any more to stores. We speculated that this would happen in “a few months”.
A few months later, and here we are; and Sony is confirming that they are fresh out of 60 GB [...]

GPhone on its way?
